 Today we read and annotated a new poem by Langston Hughes. I don’t think I learned anything new today. I really liked this class discussion because these are my favorite types of classes. I also enjoyed the work because it was simple but complex enough to make me start thinking. I’m doing ok.

 Today we annotated two new poems by Langton Hughes. I learned about how Forsyth County felt about Black pepper in the 1980s. I enjoy class discussions like this then later doing the questions on what we read. I felt better today than I have all week. 

 I finished the assignment that we started yesterday which I was absent for. I learned about how the green light symbolized hope and confidence for Gatspy. I liked this assignment because I enjoy being able to move at my own pace and research answers. I feel better today than my last few days because I have a lot more energy and was able to focus. 

 

        I went to visit my family in my hometown and when I was down there, I saw someone I used to call my bestie. That’s until I realized that i didn’t remember her name, only her face and the letter her name started with. I vaguely remember going to her house everyday and eating with her family. When I moved, we had a falling out so we didn’t keep in touch. If I wouldn’t have came back to visit my family, i would’ve never thought about her again. 

      The older I got, the more I realized that heartbreak never goes away. I also learned that heartbreak can be forgotten. It hurt the most when I thought about it, but when I didn’t I barely noticed it. I learned that in order to not feel heartbreak, you have to move one and try your best to forget it and have fun in life. I might have a broken heart, but I won’t sulk in my bedroom to feel it.
